HAME.

LPE CIFIGA'IION forming part of Letters Patent No. 279,510. dated June 12, 1883.

Application filed April 14. E83. No model To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, RUSSELL B. WIIITZEL,

a citizen of the United, States, and a resident.

'draft attachments for hames; and it consists in the combination, with a hame, of a drafteye having a shank and an eye and ring detachably secured to the hame and shank, as-

will more fully hereinafter appear. Other features of the invention will be hereinafter explained and pointed out in the claims. I

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in Which Figure 1 shows my improvement attached to the ordinary wooden hame. Fig. 2 is a skeleton View of the same detached from the hame. Fig. 3 is a modified form of staple for holding the breast-ring. Fig. 4 is an edge view of the draft-eye. Figs. 5, 6, 7, and 8 are modified forms -of the breast, eye, and ring.

I A represents an ordinary wooden hamestock; B, the drafteye.

O represents a tenon or shank, terminating in pin 0, as shown in Fig. 2. The wide shank C fits in a mortise cut in hame-stock A, forming a strong attachment for the eye B. The pin portion 0 projects through the hame, and is riveted over a washer, c, as shown in Fig. 1.

Z represents a tongue-piece projecting from eye B, between the shanks of eye D; but its presence is only for filling the space, and it may be omitted. I

D represents an eye for holding the breastrin E; d, a pin passing through the eye D and the hole I) in shank O, and through the hame stock A, the end of which is riveted down upon the inside of stock A, which secures the parts rigidly in position.

D represents a shank, connected to eye D by a bent arm, G, so as torest upon the inner edge of the hame A.

I F represents a mortise pierced in shank D, through which passes shank C of eye D, which securely holds eye G.

f, for holding ring E.

fication.

Fig. 3 represents a modified form of eyebolt hame by means of bent arm G, shank D, and mortise F, through which shank C passes without or omitting the cross-pin d, and the upper end is free, leaving a space, 9, between it and hame A, so that ring E can be inserted or 5 removed.

Figs. 5, 6, and 7 show aclevis form of eye H.

h, Fig. 7, represents a washer between eye H and the hame A, so as to allow clevis H to swivel, if desired.

It is desirable to have the form of eye to hold the ring E constructed so that the ring can be secured therein after it is welded. Eyes 1),], I, and H each secure this result.

Figs. 8,9, and 10 show still another modi- 6 I represents the shank of the eye, which answers to pin (1, Fig. 1 and 2. This pin I is formed with a curved section, I, which forms one part of the eye for holding ring E,

It is secured to the K K representing the other section, the pin I passing through the base K, the parts being contracted, as shown. It is evident that the sections are detachable before being inserted into the hame, and ring E can be inserted and the sections I I and K K connected together 7 and riveted into the hame.

iVhen pin (1 is used to hold eye D or its equivalent device, pin 0 on shank C may be dispensed with; or when shank D on bent arm G is employed, the pin (1 might be passed through the hame, above or below the shank C; but they would not be so strong as the preferred form shown in Figs. 1, 2, or 5, 6, and 7 I claim 1. The combination, with the hame A, of 8 the draft-eye B, having a shank, C, fitted to a mortise in the hame, and having a transverse opening, the eye D, carrying the ring E, anda pin connecting the eye D with the hame by passing through the opening in the shank of 0 the draft-eye', substantially as described.

2. In combination with the hame A and eye B, having shank O, the detachable eye and ring E, secured to said hame A and shank O, substantially as herein set forth. 9

3. The combination of eye B, shank O, and

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my 10 hand.
